This is a piece of powerful Russian software that I can sell in the USA
and am doing it as a good will gesture to try to improve communication
between USA and Russia. Now that the cold war is over there are many AI
researchers who can benifit from looking at this program. The price is
only what it costs for me to get this to you.  Not the thousands of
dollars it could command on the commercial market.  It contains four
dictionaries, a translation engine, and many other features you may find
very interesting.  It gives you a look at a slightly different approach to
the problem and some clever solutions.
The license is for unlimited use in a single CPU.
The program was written in St Petersburg and  Moscow by a company called
LinguaTech Systems Russia. The program is called LTGOLD/LTPRO 2.0
I run it on a Packard Bell Legend 780 Supreme (486SX66) and an EPSON 500C
notebook computer.  The program is DOS and can run on an XT. It is
programmed in C and I use it windowed in WINDOWS. Speed can be as high as
65,000 words a hour. The main Russian dictionary contains 600,000 words
which can be used by the program or accessed from the keyboard.  There are
about 32 software switches that allow you to tailor the operation of the
program to your needs.  One clever feature is synonyms are in english to
allow an english speaking person to select the color of meaning at points
where the program asks for further clarification of what you meant to say..
The program comes with a detailed technical manual written by programmers
for fellow programmers. It has been translated into english.

Add this to your collection of information about machine translation... a
working example for only $179.95 plus $5 for shipping.
